Looking at a day with carbs below 150g! This is a record for me over the past few days/weeks. I have trouble keeping my carbs under 300g most days! Still not paleo, but I'm really working at it. I hope to get there eventually...

Calories = 1,983
Carbs = 145g (28%)
Fat = 116g (51%)
Protein = 109g (21%)

Woo hoo! Now, if I can only curb the after dinner cravings for some rainbow sherbet or chocolate! :) We'll see. I might be eating more grapes tonight, so that will put my carb count over for the day.

Started off with a bad breakfast this morning. I had to go to the dentist early AM, so I wanted to have something quick. And I know cheerios sits well on my iffy stomach lately.

HORRIBLE migraine this evening. Had it lingering all afternoon and it hit hard after the hot wings.

I want to get my protein and fat a little higher and my carbs a little lower, but progress. Bad eating today due to two appts. that threw me off schedule.

It's a new year and hopefully I'll get back to blogging more regularly soon. I'm finally feeling up to eating real foods again and I am getting back into paleo (for the most part, but I still plan to eat dairy). I'm not going to worry about zone right now, just trying to focus on eating good, quality food (it'll be a work in progress to start out).

B - 3 eggs (scrambled w/heavy cream), 8oz. sweet tea
S - 8oz. sweet tea, 15 almonds, 1/8 of an apple (I think it's going bad, so stopped eating it)
L - 4oz. salmon, 1c. collard greens (chicken broth, garlic, red pepper flakes)
S - 1 mozzarella cheese stick, 1 popsicle (NOT paleo, but I gotta finish off the box), 20oz. fanta (tsk tsk tsk)
D - 1 stalk celery w/cream cheese, 1 chicken breast (3-4oz.), 1c. couscous w/parmesan
S - 8 oz. orange juice

Carbs = 383g
Protein = 94g
Fat = 60g
Calories = 1,804

WOW, I am WAY over on my carbs and way low on my fat. But at least it's a place to start again.
